About 274 livestock exhibitors from 4-H programs representing 16 counties attended the show. It is increasing in popularity with northeastern Minnesota 4-H’ers, as it gives them another chance to exhibit their livestock project, learn and interact with other 4-H’ers with similar interests.

To qualify, 4-H youth must have earned a blue ribbon with their livestock exhibit at their county fair in order to qualify. Animals taken to the Minnesota State Fair are excluded from this opportunity.

While at the weekend event, the youth heard guest speakers, engaged in hands-on learning specific to the species they were showing and exhibited their livestock for judging and animal evaluation, as well as participated in showmanship competition. Saturday evening was spent at a water park in Baxter.
